BÁS (Shallow Death)

It is World War 1.
A Welsh Minister and an Irish Guard become trapped in a dug-out after a German Night Raid. Amidst their struggles to communicate, they quickly realise the gravity of their plight is greater than they had envisaged.
Friday 19th September, 6pm
Followed by Q&A with the cast.

… a fine piece of theatrical writing coupled with some excellent performances. A poignant, gritty and gut-wrenching rendition about the futility of war and the fragility of life…a sombre reminder, if any were needed, of those millions of unseen and unheard war casualties…conveyed with poetic resonance and sensitivity, though sparing the audience nothing of the sheer horror of the situation.
Definitely worth catching…
